WITH HIS APPOINTMENT AS COACH HE BROUGHT HIS BAGGAGE WITH HIM AND PLAINLY SHOWED HIS DISDAIN FOR SUBBAN, WHILE HIS ON ICE EXZUBERANCE WAS AT TIMES OVER THE TOP IF IT WAS A DISTRACTION TO HIM HE COULD HAVE REINED IT IN BY INTELLIGENT MEANS.
HE OPENLY CRITISIZED HIM IN THE MEDIA BEFORE THE OLYMPICS YET REMAINED MUTE ON OTHER DEFENSE MEN WHO WERE BELOW PAR TO HIM, THIS GAVE BABOCK REASON TO LIMIT HIS ICE ICE ON THE WORLD STAGE.
WHO IS THE LEADING SCORER IN THE PLAYOFFS? THE HYPOCRITE CAN LATER REFER TO HIM AS A TEAM PLAYER, SOON WHEN HE UNDER ACHIEVE AGAIN SUBBAN WILL STILL BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CANADIENS
AND HE WILL TAKE HIS SOUR PUSS DEMEANOR WITH HIM.

Great to be fast but in the corners and fighting for the puck ;this is where they have problems… Also some these past few years is the age of some of the older players, I realize they have to have some to help guide the younger ones and show them that experience counts but as was stated, in today’s game, has changed dramatically, watch some of the elite teams, especially impressed with the Southern teams, fast, big, and dominating…
We have to look at some of our older players, don’t get me wrong, I like who they have, but what if they are holding the team back…
The Coach, I feel confident in the report, I again feel that you hit the nail on the head. I like him but is he the man to move the team up the ladder so to speak… Hoping for the best.. A DIE HARD FAN FOR YEARS… Good Luck…
